Action Item Review
- Hackfest preparation and updates (Todd)
- Readout from SF Hackfest (Brian and other attendees)
- Overview of activities
- August 24-25, virtual (confirmed)
- Limited participation last time -- teeing up specific action items would be beneficial
- Will create Google doc for agenda to iterate on over the coming weeks
- October 3-4, Amsterdam (confirmed - details coming soon)
- Maturity of software discussion (Jeremy & Bill) - PPT deck
- Jeremy: Since we last met, presented to Requirements WG and got favorable response. Got agreement to incorporate into use cases template. Bill and I walked through a spreadsheet of risks and mitigations. Important to enterprise development. Incorporated a part of discussion from Identity WG (prioritize features for membership services).
- Next steps: Start to develop database some more. Start to update use case template as well to incorporate risk assessment methodology.
- Brian: We did talk about this deck at the Hackfest and many found it useful to walk through what we want to be thinking about when getting ready for 1.0 release.
- Review Hyperledger Release Taxonomy v0.2 and look at semver (Brian)
- semver versioning #s have not yet been integrated -- will revisit next week.
- TSC election (Todd)
- Election timeline
- Contributor list (if you are not on this list, but should be, please email tbenzies@linuxfoundation.org)
- Revise Hyperledger Explorer proposal and bring back to the TSC next week for review/approval. (Chris)
- Pardha: made some updates, will circle back with Dan/Chris and then post to wiki for discussion next week.
- Brian: At the Hackfest last week, there is a path forward to build on top of initial contribution to be able to talk to both Fabric and STL.
Follow-up on Gerrit migration
- Brian: There are some outstanding migration questions. We’ve moved where repo sits, the core upstream repo is now on gerrit.hyperledger.org. One aspect to determine is:
- leverage the mirror of the fabric (and other) repos to GH and let nature take its course
- leverage the ability to establish a non-GH identity for our project leveraging the <meta> tage configuration supported by Go.
- Discussion ensued leading to the outcome that the technical community will continue to further iterate on this topic over the mailing list.
- Arnaud reminded the TSC of the Immersion into Gerrit training done by Ry Jones.
